Graz 

 

The Stadthalle in Graz is also thought to be in the running. The venue is the largest of its kind in Austria’s second largest city, with the ability to hold up to 10,000 people.

It was previously used during the 2010 European men’s handball championships.

Also in Graz is the Schwarzl Friezeit Zentrum. The indoor sports arena has played host to tennis and basketball events in the past and holds 5,000 people, which is half of ORF’s requirement.


Pete has followed the Eurovision Song Contest since the early 2000s. He joined the ESCToday team in November 2013, and attended his first contest live in 2015.
